My letter in Science about the myth of meritocracy has led to some interesting discussions. Apparently, bias against women no longer exists in US academia. Shame on me for believing the overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary! #AcademicTwitter #womeninscience

As a founder, I made all the mistakes. One of the biggest was not following up with investors or trying to keep them updated as I built and only reached out when I was fundraising. Wasn't the best strategy to build a real relationship

MetaBronx provides apprenticeships and career guidance to students throughout the city.
They work with migrants, and organizers believe the need for programs like this has increased as more asylum seekers come to the city. specne.ws/zpEj53

The next generation of founders are not Black, only 1 Woman, and don't wear shoes.
I didn't see that last one coming.

Elizabeth Holmes cost her investors less than a billion dollars, didn’t make any real money herself & is going to prison. Adam Neumann cost his investors $11 billion, received a 10% commission on those losses & is going to Coachella.

github copilot has, by their own admission, been trained on mountains of gpl code, so i'm unclear on how it's not a form of laundering open source code into commercial works. the handwave of "it usually doesn't reproduce exact chunks" is not very satisfying

Good example of how performative reporting can incentivize great companies, products, and teams to perform poorly
Great example from a @TegusHQ call w/ a TWTR former on how Facebook envy in the early days led the company astray

Language-based disparities is a increasing pain point in healthcare. That’s why Beepboop has been offering free digestible medical Spanish classes to healthcare providers since 2019 💪🏽✨
What if 🏥 providers and insurers worked with English as a Second Language organizations to improve ESL course access for patients with limited English skills? Might this be a way to ⬇️ language-based disparities?
We discuss this & more in @AJMC_Journal: ajmc.com/view/the-missing-st…

Wow, I’ve had 2 VC firms copy my fund thesis verbatim. They showed me their original deck, I shared my thesis with them, & then they sent me a revised deck with my thesis in it. And it’s a very unusual thesis.
This is why I don’t share much public info.
Should I care? 🤔

One of the big reasons we see a majority of VC funding go to white men, is because most of the decision makers in VC are white men.
I spoke with with @ChefVicky @thrive about the need for systems-level change in impact investing: ow.ly/gRUX50BFUZ2
